Staring heartlessly, she accentuated her part of old girl knowing all the ropes, and was so inclined to show off that she let herself in for a snub from Miss Snodgrass.

"There is no need to trouble me; there is the creek, beyond the house; you are welcome to all you want." "Thanks." I watched the pink curve of her cheek, and knew she was dying for a chance to snub me still more maliciously. We were at the steps of the veranda now, but still she would not hurry; she seemed to hate even the semblance of running away. "Can you direct me to the Bay State Ranch?"
"But then," Corydon protested, "he'll be at the Jennings! And I can't snub him!" "What does Delia think about it?" he asked. "Dear me!" Corydon exclaimed. "I haven't told Delia a word of it!" "Haven't told her! But why not?" "Because she'd be horrified. She'd never speak to Harry Stuart again!" "But then you want me to speak to him! And even to be cordial to him!

She replied: "I think Miss Schlegel puts everything splendidly;" and a chill fell on the conversation. "Oh, Mrs. Wilcox, say something nicer than that. It's such a snub to be told you put things splendidly." "I do not mean it as a snub. Your last speech interested me so much. Generally people do not seem quite to like Germany. I have long wanted to hear what is said on the other side."
The true musician would not snub so much as a musical critic. His instinct is towards the man in the street rather than the Academy. Perhaps I say this as being myself a man in the street musically. I do not know, but I know that Bach does not appeal to me and that I do appeal from Bach to the man in the street and not to the Academy, because I believe the first of these to be the sounder.
French and I could arrange everything. "Believe me, "Yours most sincerely, "You will find it difficult, my dear, to write a snub in answer to that letter," said Mrs. Boyce, drily, as Marcella laid it down. Marcella's face was, indeed, crimson with perplexity and feeling. "Well, we can think it over," she said as she went away. Mrs. Boyce pondered the matter a good deal when she was left alone.
